UNSPSC 50561504: Non GMO baldwin apple purees

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO baldwin apples which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561504 Non GMO Baldwin apple purees, a Commodity code, covers canned and shelf-stable apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The code encompasses applesauce in various forms—sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky—packed in juice, water, or light syrup and meeting USDA commodity specifications. Recent solicitations show strong demand from school districts, state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and other institutional food service operations across multiple states.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, multiple others), and county boards of education (Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System). School districts represent the dominant buyer category under this code. The most representative recent opportunity is Oregon Department of Corrections Solicitation S2910000017453, an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem beginning within 60 days of order, pricing quoted per case with FOB destination terms, and a response deadline of July 31, 2026; the prior award price was $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales in June 2026. Secondary examples include Texas HHSC Solicitation HHS0016792V2, an IFB for supplemental food and consumables encompassing 210 line items including canned fruits across multiple state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years, and Dallas Independent School District's February 2026 RFP for various food products including specialty items not covered by main commodity bids. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs driving the largest share of solicitations. Most solicitations require firm, fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, USDA commodity standard compliance, and minimum one-year shelf life at delivery.
